Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate lighting gradually, especially when moving the coral into an established reef or changing its position.
Flow
Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to a constant direct blast.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure position and allow time to adjust before making further lighting or placement changes.
Temperament
Allow room for the colony to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but their expanding growth can encroach on nearby corals if spacing is not planned.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the primary focus for routine care.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it settles in. Acclimate it gradually to lighting, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.
Plan its spacing early and adjust placement gradually as needed.
